Festival Foods sponsors many road races across Wisconsin throughout the year. We're especially happy to support a Virtual Race in June, which is Dairy Month. And bonus: National Running Day is Wednesday, June 6!

For many of us, the college years are the first time we’ve ever needed to cook for ourselves. While some of us are able to get by on delivery pizza or dining hall meals, nothing comes close to a home-cooked meal. But without a full kitchen, little money to spend, and even fewer cooking skills, options are limited. And yes, we’ve been there, too! That’s why we’ve compiled five meal ideas you can make right in your dorm room. As long as you have a microwave and a mini-fridge, you can be the culinary expert on campus!

Living in Wisconsin, dairy is certainly an important part of our lifestyles. We take pride in being known as America’s Dairyland — it’s even listed on our license plates! Dairy is also an important part of our eating patterns, so let’s chat about it!

March is National Nutrition Month, and this year, we’re focusing on ways to put our best fork forward. What better place to start than with fruits and vegetables? As Festival’s Mealtime Mentors, we like to emphasize the “all forms matter” approach to eating our fruits and veggies. That means we like enjoying our fruits and vegetables fresh, frozen, dried, canned and 100% juice! Check out some of our favorite tips for enjoying veggies and fruits!

During the US winter, we cannot get the typical "summer fruit." California, Florida, Arizona, Washington — no state can grow cherries or blueberries or grapes or peaches, plums or nectarines during January through April. That is why we have to rely on Chile to provide us fresh and tasty fruit in our coldest months. You’ll find grapes from Chile in our stores right now, and we’re here to help you learn all about grapes!

It’s been 20 years since the Nutrition Facts Label was introduced, and for the past two years, the FDA has been working to update the tag to meet current nutrition issues and consumer concerns. Finally, a new label design has been approved, and will go into effect on July 26, 2018.
